James Jarvis, Guide at Steelhead Fanatics Guide Service

If you’re ready to experience Michigan fishing guides at their finest, Steelhead Fanatics Guide Service is your go-to option! Captain James brings years of knowledge and experience, ensuring your trip on the Manistee River or the Saginaw River is filled with exciting moments. Whether you're Manistee river fishing in Michigan or exploring local lakes, you'll be in good hands.


Depending on the conditions, you'll have the opportunity to hook into prized species while river fishing and lake fishing. Expect to target Steelhead, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Yellow Perch, Crappie, Sunfish, and Walleye. Of course, Michigan salmon fishing is always a highlight, with Chinook and Coho Salmon being top catches when fishing salmon in Michigan. Captain James specializes in both steelhead fishing and trolling for other species, offering a variety of techniques to suit your preferences.


You'll be fishing aboard a 17’ Lowe 1760 MT Jet boat, designed for seamless river fishing and equipped with everything necessary for a successful day on the water. Whether you're exploring the Manistee River or another Michigan waterway, Captain James will provide rods, reels, and lures to target steelhead, salmon, and more. Live bait is also an option, and you can ask the captain about catching your own.


Don’t forget to purchase a local fishing license, especially when planning steelhead fishing or fishing salmon in Michigan, as some species may require special tags. Essential items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. While alcohol is permitted in moderation, avoid hard liquor and glass bottles for a safe and fun day on the Saginaw River fishing or any other Michigan river.


For an unforgettable experience fishing the Manistee River in Michigan, book your trip with Steelhead Fanatics Guide Service and get ready to enjoy the best of Michigan salmon fishing and steelhead fishing!

Captain James was incredibly determined to get my son and me on some fish. He knew exactly where to find them, and there were plenty around. While the fish were a bit picky that day, we still managed to catch some small brown trout and hooked into four steelhead, successfully reeling in one of them. We were the only ones in the area to get fish on the line that day! James was not only knowledgeable but also gave us great insights into fishing for Steelhead. We'll definitely be booking another trip soon. Thanks, Captain James, for an awesome time!
